Subject: MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
FROM THE DESK OF MRS.MARINA ZAMA
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO
WEST AFRICA
Dear Friend,
I am MRS. MARINA ZAMA the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Bank of Africa (BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West-Africa with
due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person Mr.Emmanuel
Etukudo who died on May 2nd, 2004 in a gassy car accident with his entire
family on there way back from Bobo-Dioulasso the formal capital city of
Burkina-Faso, and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before our discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $9.8M (Nine million eight hundred United States
dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through yahoo search on foreign business relations here in Ouagadougou
Burkina-Faso. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this
fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, to get the required
approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place
and directives, and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to
be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the
total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been
advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal. I will be monitoring the whole
situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and
ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either
in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other
necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I will be expecting to hear from you soonest.
Have a nice day
MRS.MARINA ZAMA
